Due to the wealth of Vorzyd V, the Vorzyd system was an important part of the Commonality, a confederacy of nine sectors centered around the trading world of Columex.[3] Vorzyd V had a democratic government[2] with a Prime Minister,[8] and while the planet had no major exports, it received imports including consumer goods, industrial goods, and foodstuffs.[2]Efavan, the capital city of Vorzyd V, hosted a number of lavish casinos, which were marketed by holographic advertisements in the world's orbital traffic lanes.[3]

Once a colony world of the people of Vorzyd IV, the Vorzydiaks that lived there gave all their physical work over to labor droids, valuing leisure and games over hard work.

Around 39 BBY, the people of Vorzyd V began to build the casinos and amusement parks for which their world would later become famous. During this time, the citizens of Vorzyd IV accused the people of Vorzyd V of sabotaging their monitoring systems and factories. After investigation by the two JediQui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, it was found to be caused by the Freelies, a youth movement native to Vorzyd IV.
